The 2025–26 Futbol Club Barcelona season was the club's 127th season in existence and their 95th consecutive season in the top flight. In addition to the domestic league, Barcelona participated in this season's editions of the UEFA Champions League (entering for the 22nd consecutive season), reaching the quarter-finals. They also played in the Copa del Rey, exiting in the semi-finals, and the Supercopa de España, which they won. The season covers the period from 1 July 2025 until 30 June 2026.
Barcelona planned to return to their historic stadium, the Camp Nou, on 10 August 2025, after a hiatus of two full seasons during which the stadium was renovated and expanded. However, they were not able to secure an occupancy license in time for the original return date, with the debut match eventually occurring on 22 November 2025.
The club won the La Liga title for the second year in a row, clinching their 29th title on 10 May 2026, with a Clásico victory over Real Madrid; the first time in their history they clinched the title after a Clásico. Barcelona ended the league season with 19 out of 19 wins on home soil, becoming the first Spanish team in 40 years to complete a clean sweep at home and the first to do it under the 38 game format.
